We are currently in the first steps of the Connectivity Needs Assessment, which is to get a sense of what areas of the PRRD need connectivity and the potential ideas on how to make that happen. There is no timeline on when more connectivity will be available.

Connectivity is a general term that refers to a program or device’s ability to link with other programs and devices. Examples of this could be a phone call, connecting a device (computer, phone, tablet) to the internet, and more.

The term Broadband refers to high-speed internet access that is always on and faster than the dial-up internet.
